what hook size, bait where you using? my lads just started fishing with a 4m pole, and how deep were you setting the hook

[WanderingAngler]

@StickyGeko Can't remember hok size on the pole but given what we were catching it was probably a 14? As for depth, I always fish either bottom or just off the bottom so plumming is important.

Its a lovely venue and it was an amazing day. I met your Granddad, he was a true gentleman.

something big splashs in the water behind you at 6.35

[WanderingAngler]

@Anddos25 Yes, that was a Carp, the place is absolutely packed with fish and there was Carp actvity on the surface the whole time. Floating baits probably would have done pretty well but it wasn't why I was there :)
